Bright & Early: He Sees You When You’re Sleeping Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Yesterday brought us an entertaining-but-sort-of-scary tale of Santa robbing a local bank at gunpoint (and the pictures… oh, the pictures!) We’re happy to be able to balance it out this morning with another Christmas-y story, only this one involves a mysterious woman handing out Christmas cards containing $100 to random strangers in [...]
Bright & Early: Away We Go Edition
Good morning, Nashville. When we were sifting through the headlines this morning and came across this article about cuddle parties hitting Middle Tennessee, we have to admit we were almost too creeped out to write about anything else. The parties, which have apparently been a big hit in Murfreesboro lately, are a chance for adults [...]
Happy Hour: Long Way Down
‘Tis the week for chemical spills, it seems: A Chattanooga wastewater plant employee was seriously burned after around one ton of chlorine leaked inside a containment building. [WZTV]
The TBI has released a sketch of the woman who is being accused of posing as an immigration enforcement agent, stabbing a woman, and stealing her 4-day old [...]
Bright & Early: Keep Your Eye On The Ball Edition
Good morning, Nashville. In light of all the hoopla surrounding the convention center these days, Mayor Dean is forming a new 9-member Convention Center Authority to handle the project since MDHA seems to be lacking a bit in the oversight department. Though the new board has been in the works for a while now, Metro [...]
Bright & Early: Hate To Say We Told You So Edition
Good morning, Nashville. It’s been almost a month since the texting while driving ban went into effect, and so far we’re hearing two things: Not many citations have been issued and law enforcement officers have no idea how to enforce it. Sheriff’s deputies in Montgomery County are particularly confused about how they’re supposed to tell [...]
Bright & Early: Under Construction Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Last night, the Metro Council approved funding for upwards of $600 million in construction projects all around the city. Within the next few years, we’re looking at a shiny new “adventure play park” (we can’t wait to see what that is) on the riverfront, a connector road between north Nashville and West [...]
Happy Hour: Journalistic Integrity
You know, we always figured the huge Kingston TVA ash spill would eventually make the rounds to national news, but GQ wasn’t exactly the publication we had in mind. [GQ via Pith In The Wind]
In other news, the TVA is appealing a federal ruling that they need find a way to stop pumping toxins across [...]
Bright & Early: Lovers’ Quarrel Edition
Good morning, Nashville. It’s been a long time (though probably not long enough) since we’ve heard about Nashville’s favorite celeb John Rich doing something ridiculous, but yesterday he finally turned himself in to face some assault and harassment charges filed against him by former Nashville Star contestant Jared Ashley. Ashley has been claiming for a [...]
Happy Hour: Things Fall Apart
Hope y’all enjoyed all that sunshine today (ha, ha, ha) because the storms are pushing back into town tomorrow. [Nashville WX]
A bill that would’ve changed our gas tax from a per-gallon to a percentage that rises and falls with the price of gas was ditched in a House committee today. [WZTV]
Speaking of WZTV, they brought [...]
Bright & Early: Two By Two Edition
Good morning, Nashville. We trust that none of you guys floated away this weekend, seeing as our rainfall totals for Middle Tennessee were somewhere in the ballpark of 3-7 inches by Saturday and we’re guessing we racked up at least few more from a very soggy Sunday. And also, there was a tornado. Things should [...]
